Hello.
My Wii has just stopped working suddenly. Previously when I used it I was ripping Super Mario Bros. Wii to use on Dolphin, but now the console does something weird when it boots. The light goes green, i then hear two clunking noises (as if the drive had failed) and then the console turns off again.

What's a power cycle? Will try this later as can't get to Wii at the moment.

Power cycling is the act of turning a piece of equipment, usually a computer, off and then on again. Reasons for power cycling include having an electronic device reinitialize its set of configuration parameters or recover from an unresponsive state of its mission critical functionality, such as in a crash or hang situation. Power cycling can also be used to reset network activity inside a modem. It can also be among the first steps for troubleshooting an issue.

Meaning, unplug everything from everywhere, let it rest 5 minutes, and plug it back again.
